What is your meaning of life? I really wanted my answer to be “42”, but I would have had to cheat. My favorite compliment is not that I’m froody>

1) I was given a nice bottle of California Merlot for Christmas. Merlot is not my favorite, though I will drink it happily when it is a gift. I have discovered that a generous wedge of lime squeezed into a glass of Merlot miraculously turns it into something that rather transcends description. Of course, it…

Bear with me – I don’t know how much you understand about all this, so I’m probably going to start at a level far too basic. Feel free to skim until you hit the stuff you wanted. Internet Providers and Internet Provider Numbers (IP#’s) In order to get onto the net, most people pay money…

Things seem to be ironing themselves out. Which means that I’m finally regaining some sense of balance again.

“Why pay money to have your family tree traced? Go into politics when your opponents will do it for you.” – Mark Twain The Professor was very solicitous last night. Told me to make sure to get to bed early, not to worry about the wash or the vacuuming or the shopping or the anything….

Oof … rough night. The Prof has a nasty habit of saying sarcastic things that sting, and then backing off when he’s called out about it, claiming he was just joking. I thought it was just me being hypersensitive, but his aunt called him on it when we met up with them last weekend, so…
